Image Processing in Military Security and Defense Problems

In this conference paper, we present image-processing applications for military purposes. We show many possible applications for security and defense problems in the military linked to digital image analysis. We discuss object detection, weapon detection, detection and segmentation of important military points, objects and targets in Earth maps and SAR data. Furthermore, we implemented our own software based on mathematical discrete algorithms, where we analyze SAR data for detection of objects, regions, landscape regions even military objects. We are using mathematical models for segmentation, and we did own implementation into computer software for image segmentation. This way, military officers and leaders can analyze visual problems and consider the danger of concrete objects in images. Military administrations can use this kind of information for safety and defense tactic decisions.
